Multi Spring Reverse Balanced Seals
Advanced Reverse Pressure Sealing with Multi Spring Reverse Balanced Designs
At GSI – Globe Seal Industries, we specialize in engineering high-performance multi spring reverse balanced seals that deliver outstanding reliability in applications involving vacuum, reverse pressure, or where product tends to polymerize at atmospheric side. Designed to handle challenging operating conditions, these seals ensure safe, efficient sealing for critical process equipment.
Product Overview
Multi spring reverse balanced seals are specially designed mechanical seals where the balance point is configured to handle internal sealing under reversed or vacuum conditions. Unlike standard balanced seals, the hydraulic pressure acts to open the seal faces, making them ideal for services where the pressure inside the pump or vessel is lower than the external pressure.
With multiple small springs evenly distributed around the seal, these seals provide uniform axial face loading, delivering consistent sealing performance even under fluctuating vacuum or reverse pressure scenarios.
Key Features
✔ Reverse Balanced Construction: Engineered specifically for sealing applications involving vacuum or reverse pressure, preventing seal face opening and leakage.
✔ Multi Spring Uniform Loading: Ensures even pressure across seal faces, reducing distortion and maximizing seal life.
✔ Compact, Modular Design: Fits easily into standard stuffing boxes, making installation and retrofits straightforward.
✔ Suitable for High Speeds & Temperature Variations: Designed to maintain sealing integrity under demanding dynamic conditions.
✔ Available in Cartridge & Component Styles: For easy installation and servicing according to your plant requirements.
✔ Rotational Flexibility: Works with shafts rotating in either direction, simplifying spare parts and maintenance inventory.
Materials of Construction
GSI multi spring reverse balanced seals are available in a wide selection of materials to perfectly match your process environment, including:
Seal Faces: Silicon Carbide, Tungsten Carbide, Carbon, Ceramic to handle abrasives, temperatures, and chemical attack
